ABOUT THE PRACTICE
As the longest-established holistic pediatric dental office in Austin and Central Texas, Green Apple isn't your typical pediatric practice. We take a biological approach — meaning we look at the whole child, not just their teeth. From biocompatible materials and mercury-free fillings to airway-focused assessments, every decision we make is rooted in your child's overall health.
Families drive from across South and Central Texas because they want a dentist who listens, explains, and never rushes. That's the experience we've built — and it's why kids actually look forward to coming back.
We use only biocompatible, thoroughly vetted materials.
Every decision is rooted in your child's overall health.
Your child will never be exposed to mercury fillings.
We built this practice around one question: what would we want for our own kids?
Your child will never be exposed to mercury fillings in our office. We're IAOMT-certified and use only biocompatible, thoroughly vetted materials — because what goes into their mouth matters.
We take the time to listen, explain, and answer every question. No assembly-line appointments, no pressure — just honest conversations about what's best for your child.
We hear it all the time — even from kids with past dental trauma. Our gentle, confidence-building approach turns anxious first visits into "can we go to the dentist today?"
Every child is different — physically, emotionally, developmentally. We adapt our approach for each one, from gentle tell-show-do techniques to specialized care for children with sensory needs.
